==Can I have two or more accounts?==
==Can I have two or more accounts?==
Generally no. This is almost always not permitted, and if another account is used to bypass a ban or cause other trouble, your IP will be blocked for three months. Only staff can create more than one account, and in that case, the other accounts must be bot accounts and they must be labeled as such. Unauthorized alternate accounts are usually permanently banned. We currently do not have the ability to merge accounts.
Generally no. This is not permitted for wiki editing, and if another account is used to bypass a ban or cause other trouble, your IP will be blocked for three months. The only exception is accounts created for using the interactive maps as completion data is tracked via wiki accounts. Alternate accounts may not be used for editing the wiki unless expressly authorized by site staff. Other exceptions are usually bot accounts used for automated editing and they must be labeled as such. Alternate accounts used for any other purpose are usually permanently banned.
